Crucial Physics from Sections 5-7 that the teachers completed at home due to snow day.
  • Section 5 – stopping distance
    • Stopping distance proportional to vel squared
    • Show ramp: twice the speed; 4x the stopping distance
    • Thrice the speed: 9x the stopping distance
  • Section 6 – Yellow Light
    • Show go zone and stop zone at intersection
    • Why do these equations make sense?
    • D(go)=vt(y)-w
    • D(stop)=vt(r) + v^2/2a
  • Section 7 – circular motion
    • F=mv^2/R
    • Force is friction
    • V^2 dependence again
Discussion of no class and no investigation – what was lost; comparison to class with students
